The way I used to install (note i am in WM+clrcad+haret) was copying folders META-INF & system to /ICS/root, and reboot. I can see 'android is actualizing' message at start. But this way is not working in build15, I think because it is not done with portadroid. So then I substitite initrd from build14 and reboot and the softkeys (i use the modded siftkeys by gogodu) are installed. Then change back the initrd file from build15 and the SK still there. So it should work also for your BT.

Maybe some other more experienced member can advice better. Kind regards.
[HD2 Android SD Development] fOxunO:
are you succeeded ICS NAND with portadroid ?

and are you also can get GSM service and Wifi connected ?

you are replace initrd after booting or from 1st time ?

because 1 also can ported but can't get service and wifi.
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
Am I right in saying that file initrd is the same size (1744) as the new one!

It seems to be the same size from my backup anyway.

If the size is different, could you attach the file here please.

Thanks for the suggestion will try tonite.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DisneyF1:
Great tip, Thanks! Vidoes recorded before this build now play perfectly.

Now if I can figure out how to get this camcorder version to record properly...

Is there a possibility to remove Virtual keys by myself? Particulary for HD2 Leo there is no need for sw keys if it has a hw ones, it only consumes display space..
[HD2 Android SD Development] alex.odell.2011:
The link is dead. No more file sharing on filesonic
[HD2 Android SD Development] melando:
The fact that using HD2 hardware keys ultimately causes the touch screen to fail is a pretty compelling reason to use soft keys
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Original initrd file from build 15:)

Are you after initrd file from build 15 or 14?
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Try restart,back to setting untick and retick auto rotation should work:)

Sorry red_guard i miss read your post,i thought you need initrd fille from build 14.I have full build 14 on hard drive but no way of sharing with you:mad: My multiupload account is not working:mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] red_guard:

[MAGLDR][SD] ICS 4.0.3 CM9 build 14

Hi red_guard this is for you :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Ankuch if you want me to remove this then let me know:)

[HD2 Android SD Development] poyensa:
no no no, i just tried once myself following this post from Szczepanik as 'proof of concept' but wifi, Bt, camara, etc etc no working. But it is always nice try things by myself :)

I am talking about this rom from ankuch. Build 14 and before was done using portadroid so we could install new stuff as boonbing explain:

Since build15 is not done with portadroid that is not working. But we can temporary change the initrd.gz from build14 in build15 for installations. I hope I have explained enough.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dr.Slimm:
Really? I haven't experienced any troubles with HW keys so far. :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
melando has a point. The touchscreen digitiser cable is directly below the hard keys and may be damaged from repeated key pressing. Bad design. But then HTC probably did not expect the HD2 to last as long as it has.;)

Lets hope you continue to have no trouble with your hardkeys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] melando:
Exactly. Luckily mine was repaired by HTC free under warranty and I can now run Android without ever using hard keys :-)

Android Soft Keys

Hi all,

can anyone tell me how to install these Android Softkeys in ICS? Thanks very much in advance,

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
Thanks Poyensa.

I'm being dumb about this but I couldn't get the softkeys to install as I previously did on Build 14 (or maybe 13).

This is what I did, please tell me if anything incorrect.

1. I installed the ankuch build 15 onto a newly formatted sd card.

Booted perfectly and all was good.

All apps installed directly from my PC via My Library on the Android Market.

This was done very quickly probably 5 min for about 30 Apps!

2. I then replaced the initrd.zip from my previous builds ICS folder and placed into the ICS folder with the other files.

3. rebooted and the phone booted fine.

I placed the META-INF & system files into ICS/root

However when I did that the animation on boot up continued without finally booting into the lock screen.

I also installed ICS keyboard prior to adding the root folder above (not sure if that must be done after the soft keys?)

I am amazed how much faster Build 15 is and wi-fi whilst it didn't connect initially, is now incredibly fast!

I appreciate your assistance again!
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
I'm having that issue with booting from magldr.
[HD2 Android SD Development] poyensa:
should put the folders ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Just to help poyensa out here a bit:D.It needs to be initrd from build 13 not 14,but instructions as above:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Anyone, please??

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] poyensa:
hi kuzibiri, what you need? we are talking about installing SK in the last posts .... just copy folders META-INF & system to \ICS\root and rebot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Poyensa,

I know that but I seem to do not have these folders :confused: Where can I find them?? And I also have to make a ICS\root folder, which I also do not have?

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] poyensa:
option 1) get framework-res-apk_v403cm9_with_softkeys.zip from tytung nand thread (download here) This SK has a problem that overlap keyboard so you have to set LCD density to 217 (*)

option 2) I use gogodu SK, for tytung v1.1/v1.2 works well for ankuch rom. It has a few more functions specially to enjoy mutitask WM style when long press on home SK. No problems of keyboard overlaping.

And yes, create the folder ICS\root and copy there the folders META-INF & system, and reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Thanks my dear friend,

will try the gogodu SK option!

best regards, Kuzibri

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Hi my dear friend Poyensa,

thanks very much for this second option, it works like a charm. Unfortunately I cannot thank you twice for your advice, sorry!!

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] red_guard:
thank you my friend :D

I'll hope bulid 14 is working for me :rolleyes:

edit: yeah it works :)

can I get the camera working in built 14 e.g. change the initrd file from an other built?
[HD2 Android SD Development] m_bardugo:
Wanted to report a problem in the contact pics

i'm using APW (android pro widget) and there's a contact widget there that shows the contact pics.

in this rom, i can't see the contact pics in the widget and they are blank although i have pics to my contacts.

i spoke with the widget designer and he told me to go to the contact app and see if i can see the contact's pics in the

starred tab

..and he was right i can't see pics over there..so there must be a problem with the rom.

waiting for your solution please.

thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
I don't think you can get the camera working in build 14:-(
[HD2 Android SD Development] pascalsg:
I try it, and the fix works. But I'm not sure if there are interaction with the fixes provided by Ankush
[HD2 Android SD Development] nemuro:
Done. I hope any of this work finds its way to a nand build in the future.

Nice work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ankuch:
Really, really. Laggy due one ugly fix, need some additional investigation.

And laggy due debug build, and very dependent of SD class, cluster size of FAT & so more.

But now 3D work. You can check it :-)

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wlh03212:
hello can someone help me. On the OP it says

Install:

Extract content 7z to ICS folder on root sd-card;

Configure MAGLDR to boot from /ics folder;

First boot around 2-3 minutes.

I couldn't get past the "HTC" spelling screen. After that the phone just reboots and load from NAND(android)

help help!

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

do i need ext2? i have FAT32, ext4 and swap on my SD. but not using swap.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ankuch:
FAT32 must be first partition, elsewhere you can try use loop_partition in startup.txt.

loop_partition=mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 - for first partition and so on.
[HD2 Android SD Development] somebully:
Is HW accel done or is it just a quick hack? If it's the real deal then mad props ankuch :)

Ankuch,

Ive compiled a NAND build of your work here :

[HD2 Android SD Development] clio94:
You did great work.Only thing is missing me is playing videos.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ankuch:
Hello, geopa.

I added option for software buttons.

See first post.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ankuch:
In my HD2 on NAND lives WP7.5. So NAND not my option.

But port 3D to NAND builds I think it is important.

In the future, the correct option to combine our changes via the GIT.

Thanks.

Is it normal not to see a bootanimation during first boot? And I got to the first setup screen and pressed volume down to go to vibrate and it said that android is updating. Then it wouldn't boot again, this happen to anyone else?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
Thank you very much for bringing sd build of ics. Great job.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ankuch:
Bootanimation permanently disabled via build.prop due problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisrj28:
Ok thank you, does the Android updating message sound familiar after pressing volume?

**Edit ok it booted after upgrading again, just waiting for the touch screen to register so I can go through setup hah

**Edit again, after a few minutes waiting the screen still does not register touches. Will give it some more time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] khrisstyan:
WOW EGL v.4 it's very fast.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gazzacbr:
on v4 now and wifi good, market works, smooooth.

hung on first startup at setup screen but used the time honored IT support method, "turn it of and turn it off again" :) then was ok on 2nd boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jonas2295:
Yes :) I will watch the way of development and if nearly all lags are gone and camera works I will donate I think about 20$. Hope this motivates you even more :)

I fell in love with it and you beat the guys on NAND development with ease!

Thank you for your hard effort man.

Back to ROM itself :) please add a bootanimation if possible since its horrible to get that black screen while being proud and showing my superphone to my friends ;)

Will test more tomorrow when I have my free day of the week and I will do a video if I feel like to do and I have time.

Well that's all I had to tell you!.. For now :)

Edit :oh and could you please replace the keyboard in the rom with the one on market which was ported to work even with 2.3?!

It has working predictions etc :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nigeldg:
OK, from the original to the latest one, things have changed a lot. Initial observations are:

This ROM is AMAZINGLY FAST AND SMOOTH

All apps appear to work fine

I get 258 Mb RAM on boot

Battery drain is perfect, only 5ma without any tweaks and wifi on

Generally looks very good, loving ICS

Far superior to the NAND ROM.

Works almost as quickly as Typhoon CM7

Can't give a quadrant score, hangs at 'video decoding' which is understandable

Overall, keep up the good work, we need devs like you to keep the HD2 alive :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Software buttons

I put content of 7z to ICS and reboot.

Get HTC logo then half black screen and....nothing...ICS Beta2..dead...???

Did i do something wrong??
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
I can take pictures with my camera with ICS build 15 and this initrd file (see attachment) without the need to reboot after every picture.

BTW: the initrd file is already unzipped!!

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] McAlister:
kuzibri do you have softkeys with ics 4.0.3 build 15 ?

I try to have it, i create the ICS/root folder and put META-INF & system in it (softkey_mod3_tytung_cm9_v1.1_cwr) but ... nothing !
[HD2 Android SD Development] poyensa:
you need to change initrd.gz, use the one just posted by kuzibiri then reboot and see android actualizing ... afterwards you can go back to initrd from build15 if you wish.
[HD2 Android SD Development] McAlister:
Ok, i will try, thx Poyensa
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

if you also want a working camera, follow these steps:

1. Download Ankuch's latest build (15).

2. Unzip to your desktop and delete the initrd file

3. put the initrd file, attached in my post # 1381, on your desktop instead of the original one.

4. Copy all these files to the ICS folder on your SD card.

5. Go to ICS - press the two known files and you will have a working camera.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating: see thumbnail (picture taken with Android Camera).
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Build 15 not working for red_guard
[HD2 Android SD Development] McAlister:
Yes the camera works (and was also working with the original initrd file) but there is no way to make movie yet.

Hi everybody

I have installed this ROM and encountering a few problems...

The biggest one is that my correspondants tell me that there is an echo (their voice) and they hear like a sound of water behind my voice.

I have the last Leo Rom radio installed (2.15.50.14).

If someone has got a solution that would be kind of you to help me.

Thanks in advance.

(sorry for my poor english,:()
[HD2 Android SD Development] McAlister:
Yes i have the same problem, with all roms i tryed (only Ankuch ics roms (i did not try any rom else))

I am under 2.15.50.14 radio rom too.

And sorry i don't know how to fix it but i saw that, like me, your operator is SFR. I hope that's not the problem.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

this I do not understand at all! Had the same problem with Build 15 as you still have, but now I have a fully working version after performing the steps I described earlier. Beats me totally :confused:

P.S. Do you have an HD2? If yes, when was the last time you formatted your SD card? If that's more than two to four weeks ago, format your SD Card using Windows formatting tool - slow mode - and try all of earlier described steps again. Maybe that helps.

best regards and good luck, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

go to system settings - sounds - volumes. There you will see that the volume for ringtones and notifications is set to max, leading to ECHO sound. Reduce this volume untill you're satisfied with the quality of the sound and the ones that are calling you or vice versa.

Another, easier and faster, solution is just to use the device's own volume rocker. Pushing that will show you a telephone icon with a slider to in/decrease the volume.

P.S. there is also an app on the Market with which you can setup your desired volume: Volume+

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing all their contacts getting wiped periodically every few hours?

Love build 15, especially the improved hardware gpu support from previous builds, however every few hours (usually when the phone is sleeping) it will go into a fit on wakeup where everything is dead slow and when this recovers all contacts will be missing, even though call history still shows.

Am using DW contacts as dialer replacement, and never had this issue on previous builds. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Hi all,here is a fully working download link:) If Ankuch ask me to remove it i will.

How do you synchronize your contacts with Build 15? Untill now I did not succeed on that!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:

[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Which /system/etc/init.d you are pointing to?? Do not have it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] thecharliec:
Hi Kuzibri,

I have been using MyPhoneExplorer successfully on all the Ankuch builds I've tried... back to beta I think.

Can't work out whether the issue is a MPE one, related to DW contacts or down to build 15.

I can confirm I was using MPE and DW on previous builds without the wiping issue that's why I suspect its the build.

Have removed DW and will use the stock phone over the weekend to eliminate.

Can't wait for this build to fully stabilize, hate the side of having to go back to gingerbread....
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hardware Keys

Hi Wis,

since I actvated a password to enter ICS, the hardware HD2 keys are not lit anymore. Do not know why this happens, but I seem not need to install your attached program. The HW keys are now "dead".

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Try reinstalling soft key root file again it should correct your problem:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] thecharliec:
Hi Kuzibri,

Just worked out why I couldny reply. Not able to post links due to <8 posts.

It should be on market.There has been a recent official ICS update for it. Prior to that you had to use a dev version from their forums to sync with ICS.

I sync directly from Outlook so not sure what Google contacts issues this may cause....
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

maybe I downloaded the wrong file, but I cannot sync with my Outlook file. I can only sync with my gmail.com address and not the one from my Outlook file, which is different from my Gmail account.

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] thecharliec:
Hi Kuzibri,

Not sure how you are doing it. You also need to download the desktop client from the MPE website to sync....
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Also did that, but it only wants to sync with my .gmail.com account instead of my Outlook email address, which is diiferent from the gmail acoount.

best regards, Kuzibri
